set_input_source does not work for any of the codes listed in get_vcp_capabilities

[Alexgrau88]

Even though i have inputs': [<InputSource.DP1: 15>, <InputSource.DP2: 16>, <InputSource.HDMI1: 17>] shown when using get_vcp_capabilities the set_input_source does not work for any of the codes. Any assistance would be appreciated.

print(monitor.set_input_source("DP1") )
= to none

• Monitor manufacturer and model number: LG 34WP65G
• Input source (HDMI, VGA, display port, ect.): HDMI
• Output device (video card, discrete graphics, ect.): dedicated graphics
• Operating system: Windows 11
• Python version: 3.11.0
• monitorcontrol version (monitorcontrol --version): 3.0.2

Steps to Reproduce

Run
from monitorcontrol import get_monitors

for monitor in get_monitors():
with monitor:
print(monitor.get_vcp_capabilities())
print(monitor.set_input_source("DP1"))

Does the monitor respond at all? Are you able to try it out on Linux? I'm a little stumped with this one.

[Alexgrau88]

I'm able to do the following from my poking around: ( any values on these, the current ones are just for representation)
monitor.set_luminance(80)
monitor.set_contrast(80)
monitor.set_power_mode("standby")

However, when running "print(monitor.get_input_source())" the output seems to be InputSource.OFF, and it does not make sense since the monitor is on and connected to HDMI port

No possibility to run on linux, not atm. Don't have it set up yet

Hmm. It might be the monitor doesn't implement the input source commands, the monitors showing InputSource.OFF when it shouldn't is a mode of failure I have seen before.

[Alexgrau88]

Any way to set these up if not implemented by default?

[newAM]

Hmm... Maybe check for settings on your monitors that may make this work (power modes or DDC-CI settings)? Maybe you can get a firmware update for your monitor?

Hi,

with monitor: LG 40WP95C-W

I'm having the same problem.

found the inputs but not changing the input with monitor.set_input_source('DP1')
